Unparalleled Concubine

Having said that, Li Shuo raised his head and glanced at the pale Li Shen.

"The Marquis of Jing'an told me that it was not he who wanted to fight, but the court wanted to fight. This matter is irreversible."

Li Shen said angrily: "It wasn't him, Li Xin, who pushed it, how could my Li family get to where it is today!"

Li Shuo lowered his head and said, "I've thought about it too. If there was no Marquis of Jing'an, our Li family would have come a little later."

"My son has negotiated terms with the Marquis of Jing'an."

Li Shuo wiped away his tears, bowed his head and said, "Jincheng only needs to pretend to fight the imperial court a few times, then open the city and surrender, then the Marquis of Jing'an will suffer 5 to [-] more casualties, and the Pingnan Army will have at least [-] casualties." Forty to fifty thousand people escaped from this catastrophe."

"Because we voluntarily surrendered, the imperial court is the king's teacher after all, and they will not make things difficult for the families of the soldiers of the Pingnan Army."

"In this way, even if the imperial court will liquidate the Pingnan Army in the future, 5 to [-] people have been preserved before."

The young man dressed in black lowered his head and said, "No matter what, this ending is much better than them following their elder father, following their father, and dying in vain on the battlefield."

"Father, you are already dead on the account of the imperial court. They will not admit that you are still the Marquis of Pingnan of the imperial court in the southwest. This way you can easily get away, and the imperial court will not embarrass you at least on the surface."

"As for father, I will take him to the mountain you mentioned so that he can live a good life."

Speaking of this, Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "If I had told Eldest Father this way in advance, Elder Father would definitely not agree. As a last resort, I would have to be sent out of the city by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, cutting off Elder Father's thoughts... "

Li Shen half-lyed on the bed, closed his eyes and listened to Li Shuo's words.

Then he opened his eyes, his tone indifferent.

"How do you know that Li Xin will keep his promise?"

Hearing these words, Li Shuo's eyes turned red and he wiped away his tears.

"Father, why don't you understand..."

"We have no choice."

He gritted his teeth: "At this time, we can only trust him. Even if he doesn't keep his promise, we can only accept our fate."

"Father, time is running out."

Li Shuo lowered his head and wept.

"Right now, Marquis Jing'an still has the right to make decisions. If the Jiange breaks the city and Ye Ming joins forces with Marquis Jing'an, even if Marquis Jing'an wants to keep his promise, he may be powerless!"

Chapter 557 Self-Knowledge (Falling Asleep Last Night)

Li Shuo's words were too straightforward, so straightforward that it was difficult for Li Shen to accept for a while.

But what I have to admit is that what he said is a serious fact.

Now that Ye Ming is blocked by Li Yan from Jiange, Li Xin can still make decisions in Mianzhu alone. No matter what, the young "Li family" can have the final say.

But once Ye Ming and Li Xin join forces, the situation will be quite different.

First of all, Ye Ming is the main general. Needless to say, after joining forces, according to legal principles, all those who conquer the Western Army should obey Ye Ming's dispatch.

More importantly, the "agreement" reached by Li Xin and Li Shuo was against the court's will.

In other words, Li Xin's actions would definitely not be discovered by the court.

Once Ye Ming arrives in Mianzhu, it is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing that goes against the will of the court to happen. Even if Li Shen surrenders in Kaicheng at that time, Lord Jing'an will not accept such a thing.

Li Shen lying on the bed slowly closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, he spoke, his voice hoarse.

"You shouldn't have not discussed it with me first."

Li Shuo knelt down on the ground, weeping and said: "Father's temperament, can I open my mouth to discuss with him?"

General Zhu Guo was silent for a while, and then said: "Tell me again exactly what you said to Li Xin."

Li Shuo wiped away his tears, and slowly told Li Shen the conversation he had with Li Xin in Mianzhu that day. After about an incense stick of time, he roughly conveyed to Li Shen the meaning of the Marquis of Jing'an that day.

"What Li Xin means is that after Jincheng is broken, our Pingnan army can live an extra 5 people, and he doesn't care where the 5 people go?"

Li Shuo nodded, and said, "The Marquis of Jing'an meant this. He said that he didn't care where these 5 people wanted to go."

Li Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"He can manage it."

"He can take those Southern Shu survivors in Hanzhou for his own use. With his ability, it won't be a problem to take another 5 people."

Li Shuo lowered his brows and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm afraid that the court will be suspicious."

"The court is already suspicious of him."

General Zhu Guo sneered and said: "The virtues of the Ji family, the two generations of our Li family are very clear. Back then, my father had just conquered Jincheng, and the imperial court issued an imperial edict to call my father back to Beijing. Send another person to take over the Pingnan Army!"

This thing did happen in the first place.

At that time, Pingnan Hou Li Zhijie's handling method was very simple. He should be recalled to Beijing, but the general sent by the imperial court to take over the Pingnan Army died on the way, so after Li Zhijie stayed in the capital for more than half a year, he was sent again Back to southern Xinjiang.

It was also at that time that Li Shen, who was still young, was thrown in the capital as a hostage.

"Li Xin's achievements today are no less than those of his father back then. After he returns to Beijing, unless he honestly becomes his son-in-law, he may still be able to live under the kindness of the emperor of the Ji family. As long as he has any other thoughts, It is very difficult for the Jing'an Hou Mansion to end well!"

"Li Xin is not the kind of person who kneels to survive."

General Zhu Guo coughed, bringing out a trace of scarlet blood.

In the past ten years, especially in the past two years, his spirit has been in a state of tension. Recently, he has suffered successive blows, and his body has been a little bit unbearable.

"Up to now, I can't say whether you are right or wrong, but if you let that fat pig go private, I won't let you off easily."

Li Shen gave Li Shuo a cold look.

"Go down and get sixty whips."

Li Shuo joined the Pingnan Army a few years ago, and he was considered a soldier of the Pingnan Army. The sixty whips were the military whips of the Pingnan Army. Generally, those who ate the sixty whips were either injured or disabled.

It's normal for the whip-wielding person to be a bit hotter and die.

Li Shuo lowered his head and wept, "Eldest Father, you can kill me, but about Jincheng, Elder Father must make a decision."

"This is the general's business."

Li Shen said indifferently: "Go down and get the whip."
